Stock Movers: Fastenal, Warner Bros, Waters
Listen for comprehensive cross-platform coverage of the US market close as heard on Bloomberg Television, Bloomberg Radio, and YouTube with Romaine Bostick, Scarlet Fu, Norah Mulinda and Tim Stenovec. On this episode of Stock Movers: - Fastenal (FAST) shares were 4% higher at the close after the company posted earnings in line with estimates this morning. Analysts see the slightly better-than-expected June earnings as an encouraging sign amid tariff uncertainty. Fastinal CEO Daniel Florness says it is difficult to move manufacturing fully back to the United States and is seeing "limited" signs its customers are shifting manufacturing back to the US. - Warner Brothers Discovery (WBD) shares were up 2% after Superman ticket sales beat expectations, bringing in $125 million domestically and $220 million worldwide, according to a statement from Warner Brothers. Superman is the opening chapter in a 10-year plan to interweave movies and TV shows based on DC comic-book characters such as Batman and Wonder Woman. - Waters (WAT) shares dropped as much as 10%, the most intraday since January 2023, after the life sciences company said it will merge with Becton Dickinson's Biosciences & Diagnostic Solutions business in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction valued at about $17.5 billion. Jefferies says the deal adds 'variables' to Waters' 'clean' story. The stock is down 18% year-to-date.

Human touch
American superhero film Superman is out now in theatres. Superman Clark Kent (David Corenswet) finds himself on a journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his adoptive human family on earth. When he gets drawn into conflicts, his actions are questioned, providing tech billionaire Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) an opportunity to get Clark out of the way for good. Written and directed by James Gunn, the second reboot of the Superman film series is set to be the first in the DC Universe, produced by DC Studios, a newly created production entity under Warner Brothers Discovery, co-chaired by James and producer Peter Safran, dissolving its predecessor DC Films in 2022. The reconstruction came after a number of DC Films productions, including Justice League (2017), were not received positively, as well as the cancellation of the highly-anticipated Batgirl movie, which was initially scheduled for a 2022 release. In an interview, James, who is known for directing other superhero films including Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, said he took a lighter approach to the DC Comics superhero – the previous Superman films and appearances had a grittier approach. 'In some ways, it's lighter. But there's a lot of heavy stuff in the movie as well,' James explained. 'I loved the colour and the joy of the comic books that I enjoyed growing up with, and I wanted to imbue this film with that feeling. 'He's (Clark) from a non-dysfunctional family, he has parents who love him, he's growing up in a loving household with support and emotional presence from his parents, and he's the result of that. 'And I think that he's a pretty well-adjusted guy because of that. However, he has his flaws as well,' he added.

(NASDAQ:WBD)'s financial position: 'Here's my feeling, all right, David Zaslav runs Warner Brothers Discovery. He's done the first thing absolutely right. He has made that balance sheet to be palatable. Now he just has to break out of the hell that is Linear and be thinking about all the new exciting things that could be done. I want you to stay long on those couple hundred. I would even be tempted, dare I say…. I would actually buy the stock. That's right. I would buy Warner Brothers Discovery.
